At a peak at Snowbird. I can appreciate snowboarding, but can't see any real advantage over skiing, especially with the new ski technology. Being able to go down the slopes completely free with either foot allowed to go where ever you please seems more freeing then going down on one board with both feet fixed. The skis they sell now are almost as wide as early snowboards. Only my opinion and you can't go wrong either way. Also went to Alta which is skier only. Seemed plenty of the groomed slopes stayed that way up to noon. No boarders scraping off the snow!
